CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Chinese Utility Model Application No. 201420258886.5, filed May 20, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

The present utility model relates to a scooter.

A scooter, as a common recreational sports tool, not only can be used as a means of transport, but also is fashionable sports equipment. The scooter available on the market comprises a main frame, a wheel arranged below the main frame, a handle bar arranged in front of the main frame and extending upward, and a handle mounted at the upper end of the handle bar. While pedaling the existing scooter, the feet are stepped on the main frame with one in the front and the other in the rear, which neither has good stability nor can achieve higher speed.

SUMMARY

According to one aspect of the present technology, a scooter includes a left pedal and a right pedal formed on both sides of the connecting bar. While pedaling the scooter, the pedaler pedals on the left and right pedals with both feet, which changes the traditional way of pedaling with one foot in the front and the other in the rear, and has better stability and higher pedaling speed.

According to another aspect of the present technology, a scooter comprises a main frame, a handle bar arranged in front of the main frame and extending upward, a handle mounted at the upper end of the handle bar, and a front wheel and a rear wheel arranged below the main frame, the main frame including a connecting seat in the front thereof used for connecting with the handle bar, and a connecting bar extending backward from the connecting seat, with the connecting bar provided on the left and right sides with a left pedal and a right pedal extending outward, respectively.

In examples, a pedal, mounted on the bottom of the connecting bar, may have a lateral width greater than that of the connecting bar, and may be fixed at the central part to the connecting bar, extending outward on both sides beyond the connecting bar to form the left pedal and the right pedal. In order to prevent both feet from sliding forward off the scooter in the process of pedaling, the pedal may be provided with a limit portion extending upward and forward at the front edge of the left pedal and the right pedal.

In example, the front wheel may be mounted below the connecting seat through a front fork, and the rear wheel may be mounted at the rear of the connecting bar through a rear fork, with the rear fork provided with a rear cover over the rear wheel.

The present technology may have one or more of the following advantages:

1. With a left pedal and a right pedal formed on both sides of the connecting bar in the scooter, while pedaling the scooter, the pedaler (alternatively) pedals on the left and right pedals with both feet, which changes the traditional way of pedaling with one foot in the front and the other in the rear, and has better stability and higher pedaling speed.

The rear fork may be provided with a rear cover over the rear wheel, which prevents the pedaler from touching the rear wheel mistakenly, and thus improves the safety performance while pedaling.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the structure of the present utility model.

FIG. 2 is a partially exploded view of the present utility model.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the mounting structure of the main frame, the front wheel, the rear wheel and the pedal in the present utility model.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, a scooter is provided, comprising a main frame 1, a rotatable handle bar 2 arranged in front of the main frame 1 and extending upward, a handle 3 mounted at the upper end of the handle bar 2, and a front wheel 4 and a rear wheel 5 arranged below the main frame 1, with the main frame 1 including a connecting seat 11 in the front thereof used for connecting with the handle bar 2, and a connecting bar 12 extending backward from the connecting seat 11. The front wheel 4 is mounted below the connecting seat 11 through a front fork 6, and the rear wheel 5 is mounted at the rear of the connecting bar 12 through a rear fork 7, with the rear fork 7 provided with a rear cover 8 over the rear wheel 5. A pedal 15, mounted on the bottom of the connecting bar 12, has a lateral width greater than that of the connecting bar 12, and is fixed at the central part to the connecting bar 12, extending outward on both sides beyond the connecting bar 12 to form the left pedal 13 and the right pedal 14.

In order to prevent both feet from sliding forward off the scooter in the process of pedaling, the pedal 15 is provided with a limit portion 16 extending upward and forward at the front edge of the left pedal 13 and the right pedal 14.

With a left pedal 13 and a right pedal 14 formed on both sides of the connecting bar 12 in the present utility model having, while pedaling the scooter, the pedaler pedals on the left pedal 13 and the right pedal 14 with both feet, which changes the traditional way of pedaling with one foot in the front and the other in the rear, and has better stability and higher pedaling speed. Providing the rear cover 8 in the present utility model prevents the pedaler from touching the rear wheel mistakenly, and thus improves the safety performance while pedaling.

What is mentioned above is only an example of the present technology. The present technology can also have other examples in addition to the above one. Any technical solution based on equal substitution or equivalent alteration all falls within the scope of protection of the present technology.

While the present technology has been described in connection with several practical examples, it is to be understood that the technology is not to be limited to the disclosed examples, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the technology.
